We fully vet our registered Charolais using DNA technology. We want our buyers to have all the information they can when they purchase from Merrilee's Charolais. Our registered offerings are 100K DNA CHIPPED, PARENT VERIFIED AND TESTED FOR POLLING (where needed). Our base herd has been tested free of BPA and all profiles are on file with the AICA.
Redford is a new purchase from Double S Charolais. His sire has great carcass EPDs, and we expect the same from him. He will be used on our registered Charolais dams and a few other breeds for some stout F1s. He has been DNA profiled, sire verified, N/N normal for BPA, and HET polled.
Better Pic coming soon.

While we know it is going to be a minute... we wanted to share our future plans. Princess Love will be bred to our registered Charolais bull in December 2024 for a 3/4 cross. The remaining princesses will be bred to our Hereford bull in December of 2025 for 50/25/25 crosses. Their offspring will be for sale as pre-conditioned crossbred weanlings at about 9 months of age and on an annual basis thereafter.
